Will NVC receipt ever be useful at all during K1 visa process?

[PDXDD 28]

Hello everyone

We got our NOA2 hardcopy a little while ago and NVC hasn't received our case yet. It seems later NVC will send a receipt to us to let us know the case has been forwarded to the embassy. But right now we are both in Europe. So probably we won't be able to get that receipt for a while. I am wondering if we really need that receipt? Or we can just call NVC later to get case number. Will this receipt ever be useful in the future?

Thank you for answering the question.

good luck to everyone.

I wouldn't worry about it. It won't be used or needed.

Takes about a month or so to get the letter from NVC. At least for me it did. Looks nice, but haven't found a use for it. I guess if you don't want to go through the hassle of repeatedly calling them and waiting on hold for a while it works for having your case number.

It is formal written confirmation of your DOS case file number. If you already have your case file number, you are good to go!

I tried calling twice....once I got through right away but they hadn't received my case from CSC yet. Second time was yesterday and the lines were busy busy. When I got home the letter from NVC was in my mailbox. Our NOA2 was 10/01/14. The letter was dated 10/22/14. So at least now I have the case # and don't have to bother calling anymore.

Guess you will have to call though since you are not at home. Call very early, first thing when they open! Best of luck!

Just don't lose the NOA2 approval notice. That is the one you need for AOS. You won't need the NVC letter for any of the later immigration processes.
